To follow up on the roundup of THM Deep S recipes I posted last week, I thought it would be a good idea to create a one-week sample menu with a Deep S focus. We can all use a metabolism reset once in awhile, and focusing on foundational foods, especially foundation fats such as coconut oil, is a great way to do that! This menu alternates Deep S and E days to rev the metabolism. I hope it’s helpful!

Notes:

Just because a menu like this works for me doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you. Different people need different amounts of food.

In this menu, I have alternated S and E days to really rev up the metabolism. All the S meals are Deep S meals. For more info about THM: Deep S, check out the THM plan book (the chapters that discuss higher learning and fuel cycles). Still a newbie? Don’t worry about different categories of S and just enjoy this menu knowing that you’re keeping your carbs and fats separated and focusing on foundational fats that will burn efficiently in your body and rev your metabolism!

Doing a fuel cycle? Feel free to use days from this sample menu in your fuel cycle menu! Arrange them in the right order, of course, and don’t forget to create some Fuel Pull days as required.

Many of the desserts/snacks found in this menu are repeats so you can make a batch of something at the beginning of the week and eat on it all week long! This simplifies things, trust me. Many of the lunches use up leftovers so food doesn’t go to waste. I’ve generally portioned breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for one person (although they can easily be multiplied to take a family into consideration), and dinners are family-sized.

*An asterisk indicates that the recipe is found in my cookbook, Necessary Food, as well.

Briana, Thank you ..As always… You come out with recipes and menus that help so much and are so encouraging. You are truly a blessing from God for me. Your cook book is the BEST. So easy to navigate and find the perfect (easy to prepare) recipe.

thank you for making every recipe printable in this Back to Basics II -I own your cook book but when I use this weeks menus I print them all and put together in a binder for easier access. Your printable recipes are very nice to read.

Hi- I am new to THM and I really enjoy your blog and just got your cookbook! I work third shift- 9pm-5:30am sun-Thur and I have for 20 years. Any suggestions when the best times to eat my meals and snacks would be? Also do you think I should try to keep the same schedule when I’m off on the weekends? Starting my metabolism is what every doctor I have had says is my problem. Thanks!

Hi Theresa! Never having kept those hours, I really don’t know specific times that would be best to eat, but just make sure that you’re eating every 3-4 hours. 🙂 I don’t know that the specific times matter as much as the space between the meals.
